Dave R., I keep a reloading ledger that goes back to 1971 and I notice I bought some H110 in 1973 it was with a bunch of reloading components and I think I paid 6.00 dollars for a 1lb container. So either your powder goes way back or if the pricetag on your container was not a store ticket it could be someone marked it for a garage sale or liquidation sale and your friend bought it. And it could be a lot newer than we all think. Just a thought.
